Dirk Diggler

Eddie Adams (1960-), better known by his porn name Dirk Diggler, was an American adult film star during the late 1970s and 1980s.

Early life
Eddie Adams was born in Torrance, California in 1960, and he dropped out of high school due to poor grades, angering his alcoholic mother. Adams took the bus to Reseda in the San Fernando Valley to work at Maurice Rodriguez's nightclub, and he worked in the back room. Diggler made extra money by charging people $10 to see his abnormally large penis or $15 to watch him masturbate, and he eventually met porn director Jack Horner at the nightclub. Horner offered Diggler a job, and Diggler eventually accepted as a result of his mother throwing a tantrum against Diggler for coming home late. Diggler had sex with porn starlet "Rollergirl" in the back room of the nightclub to audition, and he later headed to Horner's mansion. Horner had him have sex with Rollergirl on the couch in front of him, and he decided that Diggler had potential.

Rise to fame
Diggler was introduced to several porn industry people at one of Horner's parties, becoming best friends with fellow actor Reed Rothchild. Diggler's first film was with leading lady Amber Waves, and Horner believed that it was a wonderful film. Diggler would continue to make many films, and he rose in fame, having top billing in pornographic movie theaters. Diggler's films also included Spanish Pantalones, during which he spoke with a Spanish accent, and the Brock Landers series, an action-themed porno series which saw Diggler play a James Bond-like character, with Rothchild playing his sidekick "Chest Rockwell".

End of the Golden Age and resurgence
Diggler would become very rich and live a luxurious lifestyle, but he would abuse cocaine and later have erectile dysfunction as a result of his drug use. After Johnny Doe was hired by Horner as a new leading man in 1983, Dirk argued with Horner and was fired. Dirk and Rothchild, helped by cameraman Scotty J, attempted to pursue a rock career, but the two of them squandered their money on drugs and failed to make a demo tape for a recording studio. They failed to scam a drug dealer, leading to their friend Todd Parker being killed, and Diggler would reconcile with Horner. In 1984, he starred in yet another porno with Waves, returning to the porn scene.
